Reviewers love Image Grammar:

“Never again will grammar be contrived, isolated, or unrelated to ‘real writing’ once you’ve read Noden’s Image Grammar!”

“Image Grammar is a well-structured, creative, and interesting book, the result of ideas Noden developed and tested during his thirty years of teaching more than 4,000 students.”

“The cause always precedes the effect. This essential principal of physics underlies our perceptions of the world and our lives. Recently, two discoveries changed my view of this. First, scientists have managed to break the speed of light using a combination of vacuums and chambers. Second, Harry Noden managed to break the ‘slowness of dark’ surrounding the study of grammar.”

“I love the book as much as I did the first time I read it, twelve years ago. Like the first time, it makes me want to write fiction—immediately! In addition, with twelve years experience editing professional books behind me, I can say that yours is one of the beautifully written that I’ve ever worked on.”
